Non traditional "bling unis" attract the kids like a racoon to a shiny object. The traditional powers (Texas, Michigan, and so on) have their iconic uniforms but they don't have to get that extra attention because of who they are and where they are. Oklahoma State has done a great job of understanding who they are. They'll always be the #2 program in their state, so they ratchet up their look and their offense to get noticed by recruits. It creates a little separation from OU and it's smart. As much as I enjoy seeing tradition (as an old guy) I think it'd be smart to try and separate ourselves more from our western rivals. Be a little more daring to catch the eye of recruits and use our offense to reel them in.

This is it. Kids like it. That's all. We don't have 10 National Championships to hang our hats on. So, they simply make us noticed. ESPN talks about uniform changes. Twitter talks about uniform changes. Its simply exposure.

Depends on the kind of change. I liked the American flag hog, and I actually like the oversized ones on the grey and chrome helmets. Not sure if there was any other changes...lol. So, I'm not opposed as long as its sharp.

Honestly, I could do without the anthracite uniforms. At least as they have been done so far. I would rather see a flat black helmet with a bright red hog, and flat black uniforms. The chrome thing doesn't do it for me.

I didn't care for the 1964 throwback helmets at all. The hog looks cartoonish to me. But once I saw us on the field with the uniforms on, I thought they actually looked great. Need to wear it once a year for a big game.

I love the change to non-traditional uniforms. Since doing so our recruiting of 4 and 5 star players has shot through the roof. Our win record has gotten better each year. I also think we should change our fight song to Kum ba Yah.We could also replace our running Hog logo with a Poland China Hog to go along with the anthracite uniforms. Really I personally don't understand the resentment over the Wolf Howl modification of the Woo Pig Sooie yell. Why are some people so resistant to modern changes if the kids like them?

I agree. if the kids are talking about us, then more will want to be a part of us. Go Hogs!

Yes, but they don't have a totally new look every 2 to 3 years... The whole "uniform attracts players" thing is proven false. Name one kid that said he chose Arkansas because of uniforms..?

I can't name any because that wasn't my point at all. I was just pointing out that there really is no such thing as "pure uniforms" with most college programs. Whether or not it's beneficial is a question I can't answer.

And we looked way too much like OU. I don't want to look like OU. I want us to have our own look.

3 stripes down the leg with the Cowboy type uniforms we wore with white instead of grey would look awesome.

The center stripe or third stripe was white so if you had white pants it would only look like 2 stripes. I like the two stripes but they look like bama, ou, wisk, and nebraska. But everyone switches it up so I dont know if there is a right answer.

They look too much like Ohio State. If I were going to emulate someone it wouldn't their arses. And yes, I know they were for some special occasion that slips my mind. Whatever, it still looks like Ohio State.
